Dragging his weary body to the door, he opens it to find a face so handsome it could bring the world to its knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re Zhang Xiaolong, right? I’m Lin Ran. Let’s talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaolong eyes the young man warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can’t deny that this man radiates an aura of wealth, the kind that makes him feel utterly inadequate. Clearly, he’s some rich heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that the stranger knows his name suggests he’s done his homework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaolong fears this might be one of his father’s creditors, coming to collect debts. It wouldn’t be the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ran notices the young man’s tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax. I just want to be friends. If you want to escape your current situation, come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Lin Ran’s final invitation, his last offer to Zhang Xiaolong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhang Xiaolong refuses, Lin Ran will leave without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Zhang Xiaolong is merely a future cash cow, a streaming sensation with millions of fans, but he’s not the only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ran has three reasons for seeking him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Zhang Xiaolong is destined to become wildly popular, a platform phenomenon with millions of followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he’s close by—this rising star just happens to be from Kyoto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, he’s currently at rock bottom. In a past life, Lin Ran had been struck by the tragic story of Zhang Xiaolong’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he had wondered what kind of cruel fate could saddle someone with such a family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, looking back, it almost feels laughable. After all, Lin Ran’s own life isn’t much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least Zhang Xiaolong has a sister who cares for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ran’s own brother only dreams of killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps there’s a bit of empathy in his decision as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaolong’s rise to fame wasn’t accidental. It was built on his relentless work ethic and determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an interview, Zhang Xiaolong once revealed that all his motivation came from his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After achieving some success, he brought her to live with him, and the siblings eventually became internet sensations, achieving fame together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, while Zhang Xiaolong is still struggling, Lin Ran plans to make his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if you’re going to work for someone, why not work for yourself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Ran’s offer is far better than anything else out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Ran’s thoughts race, Zhang Xiaolong finally speaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. I’ll go with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a nearby café, Lin Ran extends a sincere offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving Lin Ran’s invitation, Zhang Xiaolong is taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s just an independent streamer with a small following. Why would anyone want to sign him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skeptical, he carefully reviews the contract, only to be even more shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ran’s terms are among the best in the industry, the kind usually reserved for top-tier streamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here he is, a small-time streamer with barely 10,000 followers. Does he even deserve this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaolong is a cautious person. Even though the contract seems fair, he knows these deals can often feel like selling your soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, selling his soul isn’t the main issue. If it means earning money, he’s willing to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his complicated family situation weighs on him, and he doesn’t want to deceive anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Lin, you might not know this, but my family situation is… complicated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ran: “I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaolong: “You know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ran nods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your father is a gambling addict, drowning in over a million in debt. Your mother is a drug addict. But none of this has broken you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You probably realize that, on your own, you’ll never escape your parents’ grip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how much you earn, it’ll never be enough to cover their excesses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet you keep working to support your sister’s education and hold onto hope for a better life. That’s the kind of spirit I admire. That’s why I sought you out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though you only have 10,000 followers now, I believe that with your attitude, your hard work, and the company’s backing, your future is limitless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ran emphasizes the words “company’s backing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaolong bites his lip, hesitating over whether to accept Lin Ran’s offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your sister is about to start university, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surely, you don’t want her to drop out because of a lack of funds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. I accept.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing the contract, Lin Ran takes him to the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they step out of the elevator, Zhang Xiaolong frowns at the sight of the floor, which looks like it’s been ransacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this company even legit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, we’re still renovating. It should be ready in a couple of days!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two proceed to the office area, which is nearly finished. Wu Zhishang is directing workers as they install a projector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the street stands the headquarters of Luo Corporation, a prime location by any standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Ran arrive with someone, Wu Zhishang quickly greets them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Lin, is this the streamer you mentioned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaolong has already been briefed about Wu Zhishang, so he greets him warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Mr. Wu. I’m Zhang Xiaolong…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After introductions and some small talk, Zhang Xiaolong realizes something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, the company is just the three of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he’s the only employee?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you two serious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ran doesn’t bother explaining further. After giving Wu Zhishang a few instructions, he leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zhishang proceeds to outline the company’s future plans to Zhang Xiaolong, who listens in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, with just three people, you’re planning to build the biggest media and even film production company?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you’re going to turn me into a streaming sensation with millions of followers, maybe even the top streamer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you two out of your minds?\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-06T02:25:33.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","75111352e2ca7783349b03e537a698f7b6e199c6830e7aeb3cfd7fa29f520077","reborn-and-snuggled-into-the-arms-of-my-yandere--chapter-230","reborn-and-snuggled-into-the-arms-of-my-yandere--chapter-229",536,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-and-snuggled-into-the-arms-of-my-yandere--cover.jpg"]
